More About De Struise Black Damnation XXXV Masters of Darkness 5 - 75cl

Master of Darkness Bourbon BA for 5 years with maple sugar added to the barrel

Meet the Producer, De Struise

De Struise

Style: Brewery

Some breweries make beer. De Struise seems to make full-blown fever dreams in liquid form. Imperial stouts aged in everything imaginable, massive Belgian dark ales, experimental barrel projects and enough high ABV chaos to make your liver quietly file a formal complaint. Somehow though, underneath all the madness sits genuinely world-class brewing.

The brewery started in West Flanders in the early 2000s and quickly became legendary among beer nerds for pushing Belgian beer into stranger, bigger and much darker territory. Their beers helped bridge the gap between traditional Belgian brewing and the huge imperial stout culture exploding out of the US craft scene at the time. Think classic Belgian yeast character colliding headfirst with bourbon barrels, coffee, oak and terrifying alcohol percentages.

Pannepot remains probably the brewery’s most iconic beer, a huge rich Belgian dark ale loaded with raisin, caramel, spice and dark fruit that somehow stays dangerously drinkable despite sitting around the 10% mark. Then there’s Black Albert and the Black Damnation series, which basically became cult classics for stout obsessives everywhere. Thick, intense and wildly complex, these are beers that drink like somebody dissolved a Christmas cake into an espresso martini and then aged it in a whisky barrel for fun.

What makes De Struise so beloved is that the brewery never feels polished or corporate. There’s still a weird slightly chaotic energy running through everything they do. Labels are eccentric, beers evolve unpredictably and the whole operation feels driven by genuine obsession rather than market research.

Belgium already had one of the greatest beer traditions on earth. De Struise just looked at it and thought, “Yes, but what if we made it even weirder?”
